If you could pick only one play to describe Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford to a newcomer, which one would you choose?
For me, it wouldn’t be anything from one of his patented 4th quarter comebacks. His sidearm missiles or audacious heaves to Calvin Johnson back in the day don’t make the cut either. The walk-off touchdown at Minnesota in 2016 was more of a Golden Tate production.
The consummate Stafford play in my mind isn’t even a pass. It didn’t win any games. Not only that, it was a dangerous play that probably had a better chance of ending his season than anything else.
